A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing. ~William Dobell

It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet. ~Kojiro Tomita

Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer

All art requires courage. ~Anne Tucker

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do. ~Edgar Degas

Okay, so I said I wasn't going to journal here EVER, but this is just so awesome I have to share it! For the last 8 weeks I've been reading this book called The Artist's Way. It is seriously changing my life. I have no idea what to say to do it the adequate amount of justice... But, basically, anyone and everyone who has anything to do with Deviant Art would benefit HUGELY from reading it and doing the exercises. It was written to help "blocked" artists rediscover their creativity (and themselves), but it's applicable to every person on Earth! If you're having trouble with your creative pursuits (whatever form they may take and for whatever reason) go to the library and check out this book! Or buy it! I can't even begin to tell you how awesome it is!!! It's a book that every artist - blocked or not - NEEDS to own. Within it's pages you will find humor, experience, sympathy, advice, inspiration, strength, and oodles of wisdom. Not to mention a billion other things. If any of you actually read this, and actually take my recommendation, I'd love to hear what you think of the book - drop me a note!

P.S. I have no affiliation with the author or publisher or anything. I'm just a rabid fan.

"In its gentle whisperings, there are the faintest hints of infinite love, glimmers of a life that time forgot, flashes of a bliss that must not be mentioned, an infinite intersection where the mysteries of eternity breathe life into mortal time." -Wilbur
